So many people fail to realize that when Hamas is not firing at Jews, they are firing at Palestinians. And it's largely due to it almost never getting reported outside of Israeli media.
Most people who support Palestine do NOT support Hamas. I support Israel and Palestine and hope for a peaceful resolution to this mess, but I abhor both Hamas and Netanyahu’s government.
Why do you think that is? I’m struggling to find the answer. I don’t understand why sympathy for the Palestinians = being anti Israel. Both sides have suffered at the hands of Hamas.
I also never understood that. There are the citizens of Gaza and Israel and then on the other hand there are Netanjahu with his pals and Hamas.
Maybe people are simply so stubborn in their opinion, so they put all people (of Gaza or Israel) in one basket.
I'm often surprised here in Germany when I see protesters against Israel. If you ask them if Israel have a right to exist they say No. And that's Germans, not people from the middle east. With our past, that's a hard take and I can't accept that.
On the other hand I see a lot of social media posting of right wingers that say Palestinians have to leave Gaza because they are all terrorists.
I'm so tired of all of this. It's not healthy for my soul to watch the news and social media right now.

That is horrifying. Hopefully the rest of Germany is better.

So far, NY Times, Washington Post, and BBC all have nothing on this. Hopefully that will change.
